## Reviews

### "Its pretty decent  version control software and easy to understand and use." — 5.0/5

> **Prabhat** | *28 September 2017* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: File level permissions. 
Difference against multiple versions of source code. 
Can work on it while offline.  Its centralized to my organization.
Very flexible (and partial) checkouts (with customizable workspaces/clients), whereas it only supports full clones
> 
> **Cons**: Somehow I feel that is slower than git and also it takes lots of space in disk. I have to keep track of merges in P4v.

### "Very good product. Easy to use. Stable." — 5.0/5

> **Lars** | *3 October 2017*
> 
> **Pros**: The Perforce diff and merge tool. Very nice way the tool works when merging files, split screen and colors.
> 
> **Cons**: Installing updates or recover the database (we had a server with a defect HDD) is for me a kind of avoiding thing. I have had errors when recovering the P4 server, and in the end skipped the update, waited for the next release, which recovered without errors.

-----

### "Fairly easy to use" — 4.0/5

> **Thomas** | *28 September 2017* | Gambling & Casinos | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Requirements documents have made running through our test cycles must faster. Easy to create test cases off the requirement docs my company creates.
I also like the ability to regenerate test runs.
> 
> **Cons**: There is no good way for us to 'only' use Helix for releases. We must rely on other ways to track when releases are started, in development, ready for QA, and ready to be deployed. Right now we use folders for only QA, but it isn't ideal.
> 
> We are transitioning to use test track as our primary management system for releases. It helps keep track of everything with the releases.

### "Really good tool for maintaining documents and code." — 4.0/5

> **Sachin** | *28 September 2017*
> 
> **Pros**: Integration with C\# and Java application - API features.
Label feature - to bundle the code
Merge and Integrate feature - it is must for teams working in multiple iterations of code.
Very easy and intuitive look and feel.
> 
> **Cons**: Renaming of folder looses version history. There got to be some easy mechanism to keep a log of operations on the folder (renamed)

-----

### "It just works \!\!\!" — 4.0/5

> **Derek** | *2 October 2017* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, developers are familiar with Helix Core and are easily able to check files in and out.  Great Version Control.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes there is latency. Getting new users up to speed takes a bit longer the average.  We still have to contact support for some of the administrator tasks.
> 
> Great version control, it always seems to work, developers never complain.
